When I Left East Virginia Lyrics

Artist: Flatt and Scruggs
Album: Hard Travelin'

When I left old East Virginia North Carolina I did roamThere I met a fair your maiden her virgin name I did not knowHer hair was darken colored and her cheeks were rosy redUpon her breast she wore white lilies where I longed to lay my head[ fiddle ]I was just from East Virginia with a heart so brave and cruelAnd I learned to love this maiden with the eyes of heavenly blueIn my heart she was my darling at my door she was welcome inAt my gate I always leave her she was the girl I tried to win[ dobro ]Then one day she packed her suitcase told me she was goin' awayI followed her down so the station said my darling won't you stayI'd rather be in some dark hollow where the sun don't ever shineFor you to be another man's darling and I know you'll never be mine[ banjo ]She got aboard that train and left me I'm nothing now the trouble I seeThere will be no more pleasure in this whole wide world for me
